These are just some of the things that inspire Annie Hutchinson to make her weird and wonderful creatures. Some mirror real life situations, the humour and the irony, some stem from the imagination or a tale told in childhood remembered and forever intriguing.Annie has always had a love for textures which has developed consistently since studying Fine Art Sculpture in Cheltenham. Many traditional skills are performed in the making of these armature figures, needle felting, hand and machine stitching, incorporating appliqué and embroidery, simple lino-cut printing techniques and painted imagesThese skills married with Annie’s magpie tendencies to seek vintage materials and discarded treasures come together to form the basis for her other worldly folk.This recent body of work has been widely exhibited and a number of private commissions have ensued.
